The self-proclaimed waterpark capital of the world, Wisconsin Dells, in central Wisconsin, scoffs at weather forecasts. Eighteen indoor parks include some of the country’s largest, and draw more than two million people each year. Lots of restaurants, in and outside of the parks, accommodate families.
